Nassau County Animal Services
Our Mission
Nassau County Animal Services is dedicated to protecting both public safety and animal welfare by providing compassionate care and finding loving forever homes for pets in our community. We believe in the power of second chances and are committed to serving the needs of the animals entrusted to our care.
Serving Our Community
As the primary resource for animal care in Nassau County, we address a wide range of needs, from animal control and emergency responses to reuniting lost pets with their families. Our work is driven by a deep commitment to enforcing humane laws and supporting responsible pet ownership throughout our county.
How We Care
Our shelter in Fernandina Beach acts as a safe, temporary hub for animals, while our vital foster program allows volunteers to open their homes to pets in need. By providing a nurturing environment—whether in the shelter or in a foster home—we reduce stress and help our animals thrive while they wait for their perfect match.
The Joy of Adoption
Adoption is a joyful partnership that transforms lives, and we strive to make the process as supportive as possible for every family. From our detailed health vetting to our inclusive programs like Seniors for Seniors, we work hard to ensure every pet finds the right placement to begin their new chapter.
